How else would Nissan sell you a part to repair your car?.. thru the dealership auto parts dept..
There's plenty of third party auto parts sellers, especially online - even for OEM parts.

Take away from the video:

1) 10 Year expected overall life for battery pack
2) 5 Years at 12,000 miles/year - 80% capacity remaining and
3) Nissan doesn't expect to replace the whole pack, just a few modules at hundreds of dollars per module rather than thousands for a whole pack
The above page is dead but luckily, someone did their duty (http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9553) and submitted it to http://www.archive.org/web.

And, from that, the video's still fortunately at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiyRxxbkHH0&version=3.
